Events

Match Events

  • 0' Welcome to Memorial Stadium that hosts another battle between Bristol Rovers FC and Swindon Town FC.
  • 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Swindon Town FC that had 57 games and scored 65 goals.
  • 10' Joel Grant needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 15' Bristol Rovers FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
  • 20' Bristol Rovers FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 21' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Edward Upson.
  • 26' It looks like no one’s ball. Bristol Rovers FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 31' It’s high time John Sheridan made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 36' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for David Tutonda suffering a number of foals already.
  • 41' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 46' Bristol Rovers FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Josh Hare is hanging James Daly on the field on 46 minute.
  • 50' GOAL! Zain Westbrooke scores on 50.
  • 55' The travelling Swindon Town FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 60' Swindon Town FC is showing some good football. However, Swindon Town FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 64' Another change for Swindon Town FC made on 64 minute. Joel Grant leaves to be changed by Jordan Garrick.
  • 69' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 71' Goal! Jack Payne scores his 25 goal in 114 matches.
  • 76' Bristol Rovers FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 76.
